Lagoon Pontoons is a locally loved outfitter in Panama City Beach inviting guests to trade pavement for pristine water. From roomy, high-horsepower pontoons to guided jet-ski dolphin safaris and laid-back catamaran sails, every ad...
Visitors consistently rave about the impressive condition of the fleet here. The pontoon boats are spotless, well-maintained, and powerful enough to handle whatever adventure you have planned. Multiple reviewers mention that everything works properly and the boats feel modern and comfortable, even with larger groups of 10 or more people. The check-in process gets high marks for being efficient and straightforward, though it helps to fill out the required forms online beforehand to save about 20 minutes at arrival. Captain Stan earns special mention for his skill at finding dolphins and creating memorable experiences on the water. Staff members like Aiden consistently deliver friendly, knowledgeable service that makes first-timers feel comfortable. The location itself is a huge plus, situated right on the bay with easy access to Shell Island and dolphin spotting areas. As a bonus, The Dock offers a perfect spot to grab drinks and live music after your time on the water. Families appreciate the competitive pricing compared to other local options, and the combination of quality boats with helpful staff keeps people coming back year after year.
We had a really good experience with Captain Stan. Booking online was easy, the prices were fair, and everything ran on time. The water was so beautiful and clear, and the boat was clean and well kept. Captain Stan was nice and helpful, and he knew what he was doing, and he made the trip fun. We laughed so much. We got to swim with dolphins like we wanted, and we also visited Shell Island, which was beautiful- plus an ice cream boat came up, which was fun (but pricey). One thing to note- when I tried to scoot off the ladder in a hurry because dolphins were swimming by, my bathing suit bottoms had a string that got caught and ripped them to shreds. I hurt my foot and my shin. ( glad I had pants to put on ) I’ll be okay but just for anyone reading this be careful because the ladder isn’t really made for that. Overall, I’d highly recommend and would definitely do it again- just be cautious getting in the water .
